Games you won't play

That one is on my "would play but won't DM" list as well, right after GURPS.

It is conditional, as to what I might not play. I have a list of http://www.enworld.org/forum/board-games-ccgs/247673-uh-no-thanks-ill-play-instead.htmlbaordgames I don't want to play.
As for RPG's I would probably avoid Runequest again, though I've only played it with one referee. I'm not sure I'd want to try Aftermath again. That was fun at the time trying to build the character, but I don't think we ever actually played and they don't call them F.G.U. for nothing.
I try not to LARP and generally avoid games where my character's lifespan is expected to be single digit sessions like WFRPG.

This is fascinating! And nice that it hasn't descended into "you idiot! Why won't you play <my favourite game>?"
I'll play pretty much anything RPG-wise once or twice. I'm currently playing in a WoD based game which I would have probably refused to play in if it hadn't been for the group and I'm loving it!
I suppose I'd refuse to play RaHoWa but I can't imagine anyone I know suggesting it.
Board games are a totally different matter, but there you go.

Possibly a Idiot.
Horror games or anything excessively "grimdark". I just can't get into the proper mindset for them. I can play with those systems if the game is set up as a parody or a joke though.
And LARP, I need a table for my dice and snacks while I play, also climate control.

I think being comfortable with a system goes a long way toward being a better DM.

3e ~
base classes that I *will* play (the won't play list was too long): barbarian (1 or 2 lvl dip at best), cleric, crusader, druid, fighter (4 lvl dip at most), incarnate, psion, rogue, swordsage, totemist warblade, warlock, wilder, wizard
base classes that I haven't yet tried: anything from PHB II, Tome of Magic, probably forgetting something.
races ~
1/2 elf, 1/2 giant, 1/2 orc, goliaths, gnomes
1e and earlier: not interested.
2e: I might go back for nostalgia purposes.
4e: not interested. My last two (local) groups switched to 4e, I miss those guys
Non-D&D
Call of Cthulu & Paranoia: I don't like games where the PCs are automatically screwed.
Nothing else comes to mind for won't play.
DMing ~
I'll run 3e (3.75) and Star Wars (d20, haven't tried SAGA yet)
